I get a pain around my clavicle bone when I do machine dips or any barbell bench presses. I never got them doing dumb bell presses. Sometimes I am able to feel the pain when pressing on the muscles located near/behind the clavicle that are around my neck

Advice is greatly appreciated because I am an avid gym goer and don't want to fall back if I don't need to.

I think I will run a couple trial weeks spending time concentrating on keeping my shoulders down in both cases. I fear concentrating on what my shoulders are doing when benching might be hard. That could very much be the case. I may as well lower the weight by maybe 10-20% to adjust.

My neck isn't tight really... I dot work a desk job, but I do spend about 2 hours a day average on the computer.

I'd caution us all about concluding that a poster's symptoms are due to the same issue as pain that one of us may have had. Even if the symptoms sound very familiar, it's impossible to know if it's the same issue without someone knowledgeable examining both parties. Just sayin. Advice about good exercise form, or caution to cut out exercises that are know to be troublesome is great.
